2. COURSE OBJECTIVES
The course consists of 3 credits, taught alternately with theory and practice exercises
in the following main contents:
In theory, this module provides learners with basic knowledge of English grammar and
syntax so that learners have an overall and systematic knowledge of English grammar,
from the smallest concepts such as parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs,
prepositions…) and their grammatical categories to phrases, clauses and sentences.
On the basis of that theory, learners will practice doing various types of applied
exercises, distinguishing, identifying and analyzing grammatical phenomena as well as
their similarities and differences.
In practice, learners will apply English grammar theory to better use English,
especially when writing and translating.
